tructure of BOGS meetings

History of BOGS

BOGS was formed in 1987. The founding members were: Prof G.A. Wolff [ [http://pcwww.liv.ac.uk/ocean/org_geochem/georgepage.html George Wolff ] ] (University of Liverpool), Dr G.D. Abbott [ [http://www.ceg.ncl.ac.uk/profiles2/geoff.abbott Civil Engineering and Geosciences - research ] ] (University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne), Dr L.A. McEvoy (then at University of Bangor) and Prof S.J. Rowland [ [http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/pages/dynamic.asp?page=staffdetails&id=srowland Staff details ] ] (University of Plymouth).

The first meeting of BOGS was held in Bangor (Wales) on 13-15 July 1988. The society meets annually, and the location of the meeting usually occurs at (or near) a university department with links to research in organic geochemistry.

Annual Meetings of BOGS

Annual meetings of BOGS have been held at: Liverpool (1989), Bideford (1990), Newcastle-upon-Tyne (1992), Plymouth (1993), Aberdeen (1994), Bristol (1995), Liverpool (1996), Newcastle-upon-Tyne (1997), Plymouth (1998), York (1999), Bristol (2000), Gregynog, Wales (2001), Newcastle-upon-Tyne (2002), Plymouth (2003), Nottingham (2004), Liverpool (2005), Milton Keynes (2006).

BOGS did not meet in 2007, as this would have clashed with the 23rd International Meeting of Organic Geochemistry (IMOG) [ [http://www.imog2007.org/ IMOG2007 ] ] event that was occurring in Torquay. The 19th BOGS [ [http://www.ceg.ncl.ac.uk/bogs/ BOGS conference 2008 ] ] meeting will occur on 1st – 2nd July 2008, at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
